Such Persons shall have the right to be present during commissioning and testing of the Project and shall, by way of example and not limitation, have reasonable access to test procedures, quality control reports, and test reports and data. Company will cause all Major Subcontracts to include, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all other Subcontracts to include, rights in all Subcontracts to permit Owner, Owner’s Engineer, and any of their respective authorized representatives to audit, inspect, test and observe the Equipment at the facilities of any Subcontractor or the manufacturer of Equipment, or the location where such Equipment is being transported, and, if permitted, Company shall ensure reasonable, adequate and safe access to such facilities for such purposes, subject to any reasonable safety rules or restrictions imposed by such

Subcontractor or manufacturer. Company will give Owner at least fifteen (15) Days’ notice of any testing or commissioning or the covering of any Work so as to give Owner the opportunity to exercise its right to inspect the Work. If any portion of the Work should be covered contrary to the timely request of Owner or Owner’s Engineer or contrary to requirements specifically expressed in this Agreement, such portion of the Work shall, if requested by Owner, be uncovered for observation and shall be replaced at Company’s expense. If any other portion of the Work has been covered which Owner has not specifically requested to observe prior to being covered, Owner may request to see such Work and Company shall uncover it. If such other portion of the Work is found not to be in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the cost of uncovering, replacing and re-covering shall be charged to Company; otherwise, Company shall be entitled to a Change Order equitably adjusting the Contract Price to the extent the costs of Company in performing the Work are increased in connection with uncovering and re-covering the Work. Such inspection of any part of the Work shall in no way relieve Company of its obligation to perform the Work in accordance with this Agreement. If Company covers any portion of the Work after offering Owner the opportunity to inspect such Work and Owner later requests Company uncover such Work, then Owner shall pay the costs to uncover such Work unless it is found to contain a Defect.

2.19.2 Correction of Defects. Prior to Final Completion, if Company becomes aware that any Work contains a Defect or a root-cause analysis using Prudent Solar Industry Practices indicates the existence of a Defect, Company shall, at its own cost and expense, correct or replace the Work that contains such Defect or is not otherwise in compliance with the Specifications. Defective Equipment that has been replaced, if situated on the Project Site, shall be removed by Company at Company’s sole cost and expense.

2.19.3 Inspection Not Approval. No inspection (or failure to inspect), acceptance, payment or approval by Owner shall relieve Company of its obligations for the proper performance of the Work in accordance with the terms hereof. Owner may reject any Work with Defects or that is not in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, regardless of the stage of completion, the time or place of discovery of error, and whether Owner previously accepted any or all of such Work through oversight or otherwise, except to the extent such discovery occurs after expiration of the Warranty Period.

(a) Company shall perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule. No later than 15 Days following delivery of the “Full FEED Package” (as set forth in the Design Delivery Schedule), Company shall deliver to Owner a revised draft of Exhibit C-1.1 that includes any additions or changes to the Project Schedule as a result of design process. Owner will have 15 days following receipt of such revised Exhibit C-1.1 to either approve such draft or provide comments on the draft Exhibit C-1.1 submitted by Company, and Company will incorporate such comments and provide a revised draft within 15 days of receipt thereof. Such further revised draft of Exhibit C-1.1 will be subject to Owner’s review and comment as set forth above in this Section 3.1.2(a). Upon approval of the revised Exhibit C-1.1 pursuant to this Section 3.1.2(a), this Agreement will be amended to replace Exhibit C-1.1 with such revised Exhibit C-1.1 For the avoidance of doubt, no such revision to Exhibit C-1.1 will entitle Company to any Change Order.

(b) Company shall provide Owner with Progress Reports as further defined in Exhibit A-1 and as Owner may reasonably request, which shall include progress reports, as compared to the Project Schedule, including the incorporation of delay and acceleration analyses where appropriate. The Progress Reports shall be presented electronically and shall address all material elements of the Work.

If, at any time or from time to time, Company fails to achieve a Key Milestone by the date required therefor in the Project Schedule or fails to show adequate progress toward the achievement of a Key Milestone and such failure is not explicitly excused under this Agreement due to an Owner-Caused Delay or a Force Majeure Event or pursuant to a Change Order executed by both Parties, then, upon written request of Owner, Company shall promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of such date, submit a written recovery plan to complete all necessary Work to the extent reasonably practicable by the dates for the remaining Key Milestones. Owner shall promptly approve or submit reasonable revisions to such written recovery plan, which Company shall incorporate into such recovery plan. Company shall diligently prosecute the Work in accordance with such recovery plan. Neither approval by Owner of such recovery plan (or Owner’s comments or failure to provide comments) nor Company’s prosecution of the Work in compliance with such recovery plan shall (i) be deemed in any way to have relieved Company of its obligations under this Agreement relating to the failure to timely achieve any Key Milestone by the date required therefor

or (ii) be a basis for a Change Order or any other compensation or an increase in the Contract Price. Neither submittal of such recovery plan nor prosecution of the Work by Company in accordance therewith shall be deemed to waive Company’s right to a Change Order due to any delay caused by a Force Majeure Event or an Owner-Caused Delay.

ARTICLE VI

TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

6.1 Title to Work. Upon Substantial Completion, Company will transfer the fee interest in the Project Site and all improvements located thereon, including, without limitation, the Project and Equipment, to Owner in each case free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (which shall be removed prior to Final Completion) pursuant to a recordable special warranty deed in customary form for the jurisdiction where the Project Site is located. Company shall deliver customary forms of affidavits, certificates and other documents necessary for the Title Company to issue the Title Policy, and the Company will cause the Title Company to issue such Title Policy, at the Company’s expense. Concurrent with Company’s transfer of the Project Site to Owner pursuant to this Section 6.1, Company shall obtain and deliver to Owner an unconditional waiver and release of mechanics lien with respect to all work performed and materials provided to such date in connection of the Project, such that affirmative mechanic lien coverage will be provided in the Title Policy with respect to all such work and materials. Within thirty (30) days after Final Completion, Company shall (i) deliver to Owner an As-Built Survey and (ii) cause the Title Company to issue an endorsement modifying the Title Policy to reference the As-Built Survey, provide affirmative coverage with respect to mechanic liens and to provide other appropriate updates.

6.2 Title to Company Deliverables. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, title to Company Deliverables, specifications and like materials (including the contents of the Job Books) that are owned by Company shall be transferred to Owner upon Substantial Completion. In addition, Company grants to Owner an irrevocable, assignable, royalty free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to use and reproduce such Company Deliverables, specifications and other design documentation to which Company does not have title but has the right to grant sub-licenses for the purpose of completing, repairing, operating, maintaining, rebuilding and expanding the Project. Owner shall have the right to assign the benefit of such license to a purchaser in connection with a transfer of the Project, or to any subsequent purchaser or assignee of same. Any such purchaser or assignee shall acquire such license subject to the same terms and restrictions as stated in this Section 6.2. Owner may retain the necessary number of copies of all such documents for purposes of construction, operation, maintenance and repair of the Project. Any costs to register such licenses in the United States shall be paid by Owner.

6.3 Risk of Loss. Notwithstanding passage of title as provided in Section 6.1, Company hereby assumes the risk of loss for the Work and Equipment from the date hereof, including: (a) all Work completed on or off the Project Site and (b) all Work in progress. If any loss, damage, theft or destruction occurs to the Equipment or the Work or other items, on or off the Project Site, for which Company has so assumed the risk of loss hereunder, Company shall, at the option of Owner and at Company’s cost, promptly repair or replace the property affected

thereby. Risk of loss for the Work shall pass from the Company to Owner (excluding Company’s Equipment and other items to be removed by Company, which shall remain the responsibility of Company) upon the Substantial Completion Date, provided, however, Company shall continue to be responsible for claims, physical loss or damage to the Work to the extent resulting from Company’s or its Personnel’s negligent acts or omissions, and/or failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company is obligated by the terms of this Agreement to perform additional Work subsequent to the date of completion for such Work, Company shall bear the risk of loss and damage with respect to such Work until such additional Work is complete.

ARTICLE VII

WARRANTIES

7.1 Warranty Provisions.

7.1.1 Warranties.

(a) As the “Warranty,” Company warrants to Owner that: (a) all Equipment and spare parts shall be new, good quality, unused and undamaged when installed; (b) all Equipment, spare parts and all Work and workmanship and installation services performed as part of the Work shall (i) be free from Defects, (ii) conform to the Specifications; and (iii) be suitable for Owner’s use in the Project as a solar-powered electrical generation facility; (c) the services comprising the Work will be performed in accordance with the Specifications and with Company’s best skill and judgment in a good and workmanlike manner; and (d) none of the Work and other services rendered by or through Company hereunder, or the use of the Work by Owner, nor any license granted hereunder, infringes, violates or constitutes a misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights.

7.1.2 Period for Warranties; Extensions. The Warranty shall commence on the Final Completion Date and shall continue for a period of two (2) years after the Final Completion Date (the “Warranty Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any component of the Work is repaired or replaced pursuant to the Warranty Service, then the Warranty Period with respect to such component shall be continued for a period that is the longer of (a) the remainder of the original Warranty Period and (b) one (1) year from the date of completion of the Warranty Services. On or prior to the Final Completion Date, any unexpired Manufacturer Warranties relating to the Work or the Equipment shall be assigned to Owner (and Company will promptly execute such documents as may be necessary to cause such assignment to occur).

7.1.3 Correction of Deficiencies. Upon any breach of any Warranty set forth in Section 7.1, Company shall cure such breach as promptly as practicable, pursuant to Section 7.2, upon being given written notice thereof (“Warranty Service”). Owner shall provide Company with reasonable access to the Project in order to perform Company’s obligation under this Article VII, and the Parties shall schedule such work as necessary so as to minimize disruptions to the operation of the Project. Company acknowledges that Owner shall have the right to operate and otherwise use the Equipment until such time as Owner deems prudent to suspend such operation or use in order to accommodate

Company’s Warranty Services. If Equipment has been placed in service, Company shall perform such Warranty Service as soon as Owner deems it prudent to remove the same from service for any Warranty Service by Company; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Owner has delivered a notice pursuant to Section 7.2 within the Warranty Period, Company’s obligation to perform the associated Warranty Work (if any) will be not be affected by the Warranty Period having lapsed before the Warranty Work could be performed and Company’s obligation to perform the associated Warranty Work will continue until Company has completed such Warranty Service. Company shall bear all costs and expenses directly associated with the Warranty Services, including all costs of labor and equipment and of any necessary disassembly, removal, replacement, transportation, reassembly, reinstallation, and retesting, as well as reworking, repair or replacement of such Work, and reassembly of structures, electrical work, machinery, Equipment, or any other obstruction as necessary to give access to the non-conforming item for correction, and for removal, repair and/or replacement of any damage to other work or property that arises from the breach of Warranty. Upon completion of Warranty Service, all Equipment shall be returned or restored to its proper condition (subject to normal wear and tear), including fit alignment, adjustment, operability and finish. If Company is obligated to repair, replace or renew any Equipment, item or portion of the Work hereunder, Company will undertake a technical analysis of the problem and correct the “root cause” unless Company can demonstrate to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction that there is no material risk of the reoccurrence of such problem. No correction or cure shall be considered complete until Owner (and at Owner’s election, Owner’s Engineer or Owner’s Project Manager) has reviewed and accepted such remedial work. So long as Company has been notified of a breach of Warranty prior to the end of the Warranty Period, the obligation of Company to provide Warranty Service to correct such noncompliance, Defect or breach of Warranty shall survive the expiration of the Warranty Period.

7.1.4 Conformance of Warranty Service to Warranty. Company warrants that all materials and services incorporated into the Work as part of any Warranty Service by Company or any Subcontractor, and repairs to and replacements of the Work pursuant to the Warranty Service, shall conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Warranty. Company shall perform, at its cost and expense, such tests as Owner may reasonably request to verify that any correction, repair, replacement or re-performance of the Work pursuant to the Warranty Service complies with the requirements of the Warranty.

7.2 Delay. Company shall perform the Warranty Service as promptly as reasonably possible after being notified of the noncompliance by Owner, and in any event shall commence performance of the Warranty Service no later than five (5) Days after such notice. If, after notification of a Defect or breach of Warranty, Company delays past such date in commencing, or fails to continue performing or completing, Warranty Service with respect to such Defect or breach of Warranty, Owner may correct, or cause to be corrected, such Defect or breach of Warranty so that the Work and Equipment comply with the Warranty after giving Company one (1) Business Day written notice, and Company shall be liable for all reasonable direct costs, charges and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with the same and shall pay the same to Owner upon receipt of invoices from Owner with reasonable supporting documentation from Owner. Such correction of a Defect or breach of Warranty shall be deemed to be Warranty

Service performed by Company and the Warranty Period for such corrected Work shall be extended in accordance with Section 7.1.2. No correction of a Defect or breach of Warranty pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall void the Warranty.

7.3 Manufacturer and Subcontractor Warranties. Company shall enforce all Manufacturer Warranties and the Surviving Subcontractor Warranties through the Warranty Period, notwithstanding the assignment of such warranties to Owner on the Final Completion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Owner agrees that Company shall be permitted to act as agent for and receive the benefit of such Manufacturer Warranties and Surviving Subcontractor Warranties to the extent necessary to administer the Warranty obligations hereunder including performance of any related work under the Warranty.

Upon Substantial Completion of the Work, Company shall provide to Owner copies of, and assign to Owner, any and all Subcontractors’ and sub-subcontractors’ warranties on any materials, Equipment or Work supplied by Subcontractor or a sub-subcontractor hereunder or any of the Work performed hereunder. Company shall provide reasonable assistance to Owner without cost to Company in connection with the enforcement by Owner of any sub-subcontractor warranty after such assignment.

7.4 Proprietary Rights. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Owner or Company is prevented from completing the Work (or any part thereof) in accordance with this Agreement or if Owner is prevented from the use, operation, repair, maintenance, alteration, expansion (other than related to the foundations for expansion of the Project), rebuilding or enjoyment of the Project (or any part thereof) as a result of a claim, action or proceeding by any Person for unauthorized disclosure, infringement or use of Intellectual Property Rights arising from Company’s performance (or that of its Subcontractors) under this Agreement or any Intellectual Property Right or Company Deliverable transferred or licensed to Owner hereunder, Company shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Days from the date of any action or proceeding, take all actions necessary to remove such impediment, including (a) securing termination of the injunction and procuring for Owner, Owner’s designee or any of their assigns, as applicable, the right to use such materials, Equipment or Company Deliverable in connection with the completion, repair, use, enjoyment, operation, maintenance, alteration, rebuilding or expansion (other than related to the foundations for expansion of the Project) of the Project without obligation or liability; or (b) replacing such materials, Equipment, or Company Deliverable with a non-infringing equivalent, or modifying same to become non-infringing, all at Company’s sole expense, but subject to all the requirements of this Agreement.

7.5 NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND COMPANY MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF CUSTOM OR USAGE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, AGREEMENTS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, OR UNDERSTANDINGS WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE WARRANTED WORK, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. The foregoing sentence does not disclaim any other obligations of Company set forth herein.

7.6 Survival of Warranties. The provisions of this Article VII shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to portions of the Work that have been completed prior to termination.

7.7 Limitations. The Warranty does not extend to (a) damage or Defect caused by Owner’s failure to use and maintain any Equipment or the Work in compliance with the applicable Operating Manuals, (3) the use of parts by Owner in the repair or maintenance of any Equipment are not in compliance with the applicable Operating Manuals, or (4) any modification made to the Work by Owner or Other Owner Contractors not authorized by the terms of this Agreement (other than Company and Subcontractors); or (b) normal operating consumables or items that require replacement due to normal wear and tear or casualty loss (other than as a result of a failure under the Warranty). Notwithstanding any condition on or exclusion from the validity or effectiveness of the Warranty, in no event shall any such warranty condition, limitation, or exclusion apply to any Work or other action (or any failure to act where a duty or obligation to act is imposed by this Agreement) by Company (or any of its Personnel or Subcontractors or their Personnel), or to any action or failure to act by Owner (or any Other Owner Contractors) acting under the supervision or at the instruction of Company (or any of its Personnel or Subcontractors or their Personnel), including in material conformance or compliance with the Operating Manuals.

FORCE MAJEURE; OWNER-CAUSED DELAYS

9.1 Force Majeure.

9.1.2 Excuse of Non-Performance. So long as the conditions set forth in this Section 9.1.2 are satisfied, except with regard to payment obligations, neither Party shall be responsible or liable for or deemed in breach of this Agreement because of any failure or delay in complying with its obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that such failure has been caused by one or more Force Majeure Events or its effects; provided that in such event:

(a) any liability of either Party which arose before the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event causing the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of the occurrence;

(b) the affected Party shall continually exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to alleviate and mitigate the cause and effect of such Force Majeure Event, remedy its inability to perform, and limit damages to the other Party;

Within seven (7) Days after the date that the event that Company believes is or may be an Owner-Caused Delay has occurred, Company shall give Owner written notice (a) providing evidence of the occurrence of such delay, (b) describing the particulars of the cause and nature of such delay, and (c) specifying the length of the delay occasioned by, and the additional costs incurred by reason of, such delay.

CHANGES

10.1 Changes. There shall be no change to the Work, the Contract Price or the Project Schedule except to the extent provided in a written Change Order signed by Owner and Company stating their mutual agreement upon all of the following: (a) a change in the Work, if any; (b) the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Price, if any; and/or (c) the extent of the adjustment in the Project Schedule, if any (any of the foregoing, a “Change”). Company acknowledges and agrees that Owner may be required to disclose any information in connection with a Change Order proposed under this Agreement to Owner’s Engineer.

10.2 Changes at Owner’s Request.

10.2.1 Owner may, from time to time, without invalidating this Agreement, order or approve by notification in writing (a “Change Order Request”) to Company (a) Changes in all or a portion of the Work, including any of the changes to the Work set forth in Exhibit K-3 (“Predetermined Change Items”) and/or (b) acceleration of the Work to recover from delays caused by a Force Majeure Event, an Owner-Caused Delay or suspension of the Work by Owner in accordance with Section 13.7. Company shall reasonably review and consider any request from Owner for such a Change and shall make a written response thereto within seven (7) Days after receiving such request. If Company believes that giving effect to any Change so requested by Owner will increase or decrease its cost of performing the Work, shorten or lengthen the time needed for completion of the Work, or require a modification of any other provisions of this Agreement, its response to the Change Order Request shall set forth such Changes (including any amendments to this Agreement) that Company deems necessary as a result of the requested Change and its justification therefor. If Owner accepts the Changes requested by Company to implement the Change Order Request (together with any amendments to this Agreement specified therein) or if the Parties agree upon a modification of such requested Changes, the Parties shall set forth the agreed upon Change in the Work and agreed upon amendments to this Agreement, if any, in a Change Order. Each Change Order shall constitute a final settlement of all items covered therein, including any compensation for impact on, or delay or acceleration in, performing the Work. If the Parties do not agree upon all terms of the Change Order, Company shall, at Owner’s discretion, proceed with such Work, and such matter shall be referred to the Change Order Dispute Engineer mutually selected by both parties for full and final resolution of the matter within ten (10) Business Days from the applicable date of referral. Each Party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Change Order Dispute Engineer; provided that if the Change Order Dispute Engineer resolves the dispute completely in favor of one of the Parties without deviation from that Party’s position, then that Party shall not be required to pay any fees or expenses of the Change Order Dispute Engineer and the other Party shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the fees and expenses of the Change Order Dispute Engineer with respect to that particular dispute (including reimbursement to the prevailing party of any such fees and expenses

previously paid by the prevailing party). If Company fails to respond to Owner’s Change Order Request within fourteen (14) Days after receiving such request, Company will be deemed to have agreed to such Change Order Request with no adjustment to the Contract Price or the Project Schedule.

10.2.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2.1, if Owner issues a Change Order Request for a Predetermined Change Item, Company shall execute a Change Order with Owner agreeing to reduce the Contract Price in the amounts for such Predetermined Change Item set forth in Exhibit K-3.

10.3 No Unapproved Changes. Company shall not perform any Changes to the Work until Owner has approved in writing the proposed adjustments. If Owner does not approve the proposed adjustments and Company and Owner are unable mutually to agree upon alternative adjustments, Owner may by written notice to Company cancel the Change. Upon receiving from Owner a written approval or written authorization to perform, Company shall diligently perform the Change in accordance with and subject to all of the terms of this Agreement. Company shall not suspend, in whole or in part, performance of this Agreement during any dispute over any Change Order unless directed to do so by Owner, and if directed to proceed with a Change or disputed item pending review and agreement upon adjustments, Company shall (without waiving any rights with respect to such Change or disputed item) do so. Once a dispute over a Change Order has been resolved, the Parties shall adjust the Contract Price and Project Schedule pursuant to such resolution. Following such resolution, Owner may offset against payment of the Contract Price pursuant to Section 5.10 any amounts paid to Company for any additional Work pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.2.1 in excess of the amount due to Company for such additional Work in accordance to the resolution of the dispute.

10.4 Changes Initiated by Company. Company will issue to Owner a Change Order Request within seven (7) Days after Company becomes aware of or should have become aware of any circumstances which Company has reason to believe may necessitate a Change. Owner shall respond to such Change Order Request within a reasonable time, not to exceed ten (10) days, after receipt thereof. All Change Order Requests shall include documentation sufficient to enable Owner to determine: (a) the factors necessitating the possibility of a Change; (b) the impact that the Change is likely to have on the Contract Price; (c) the impact that the Change is likely to have on the timely achievement of the activities set forth in the Project Schedule (including the Guaranteed Completion Dates); and (d) such other information which Owner may request in connection with such Change. Except as provided in Section 10.5, Owner shall not be obligated to issue a Change Order pursuant to a Change Order Request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Company fails to issue a Change Order Request within fourteen (14) Days after Company becomes aware of or should have become aware of any circumstances which Company has reason to believe may necessitate a Change, Company will be deemed to have waived its right to any such Change Order Request.

10.5 Required Change Orders.

10.5.1 Company Right to Change Orders. Provided that Company has used all reasonable efforts to avoid and mitigate any potential delays to the Project Schedule and/or increased Direct Costs or indirect costs resulting from such events, including seeking recovery under Company’s insurance policies covering damage to tools and equipment, if

applicable, Company will, to the extent described in Sections 10.5.2 and 10.5.3, be entitled to receive Change Orders to the extent necessary to overcome any events described in this Section 10.5.1. If the Parties do not agree upon all that Company is entitled to receive a requested Change Order, Company shall, at Owner’s discretion, proceed with such Work, and such matter shall be referred to the Change Order Dispute Engineer mutually selected by both parties for full and final resolution of the matter within ten (10) Business Days from the applicable date of referral. Each Party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Change Order Dispute Engineer; provided that if the Change Order Dispute Engineer resolves the dispute completely in favor of one of the Parties without deviation from that Party’s position, then that Party shall not be required to pay any fees or expenses of the Change Order Dispute Engineer and the other Party shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the fees and expenses of the Change Order Dispute Engineer with respect to that particular dispute (including reimbursement to the prevailing party of any such fees and expenses previously paid by the prevailing party).

(a) Change Order Due to Force Majeure Event. Subject to this Section 10.5.1 and Section 9.1 and Company meeting the requirements therein, (i) if and to the extent that a Force Majeure Event causes Company to suffer a delay in its performance of the Work, Owner shall issue a Change Order extending the Project Schedule to the extent required under Section 10.5.2, and (ii) if and to the extent that such Force Majeure Event increases Company’s Direct Costs in performing the Work, Owner shall, via Change Order, increase the Contract Price to the extent required under Section 10.5.3; provided that in no event will any Force Majeure Event arising out of or connected to the COVID-19 pandemic, including any variants related to or arising from the COVID-19 virus, result in a change to the Contract Price.

(b) Change Order Due to Owner-Caused Delay. Subject to this Section 10.5.1 and Section 9.2 and Company meeting the requirements therein, (i) if and to the extent that an Owner-Caused Delay causes Company to suffer a delay in its performance of the Work, Owner shall issue a Change Order extending the Project Schedule to the extent required under Section 10.5.2, and (ii) if and to the extent that such Owner-Caused Delay increases Company’s Direct Costs in performing the Work, Owner shall, via Change Order, increase the Contract Price to the extent required under Section 10.5.3.

(c) Change Order Due to Project Site Approval. Subject to this Section 10.5.1 and Section 2.12.1, if an alternate Project Site is selected pursuant to Section 2.12.1 and such selection causes Company to suffer a Delay in its performance of the Work, Owner shall issue a Change Order extending the Project Schedule to the extent required under Section 10.5.2; provided that in no event will selection of an alternate Project Site pursuant to Section 2.12.1 result in a change to the Contract Price.

(d) Change Order Due to Unforeseen Site Condition. Subject to this Section 10.5.1 and Section 2.12.4, including the notice requirement therein, if and to the extent that an Unforeseen Site Condition causes Company to suffer a Delay in its performance of the Work, Owner shall issue a Change Order extending the Project Schedule to the extent required under Section 10.5.2; provided that in no event will any Unforeseen Site Condition result in a change to the Contract Price.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not be required to issue any Change Order to the extent that the actions or inaction of Company relating to the storage, Release or disposal of such Hazardous Material results in an obligation of Company to indemnify Owner pursuant to Article XII hereunder.

10.5.2 Changes Involving Schedule Extensions. To the extent that Company reasonably demonstrates that an event necessitating a Change as described in Section 10.5.1 will delay Company in performing the applicable Work by a Guaranteed Completion Date despite Company’s use of reasonable efforts to mitigate and avoid any such delay, Owner shall issue a Change Order extending the Project Schedule on an equitable basis as determined by the facts and circumstances surrounding such event and the effect on timing of the Work, including the time of year, the stage of the Work and the duration of the event, to enable Company to remedy the effect on Company’s ability to perform the Work including achievement of the applicable Key Milestone(s) demonstrated by Company as being required solely as a result of the event (or combination of events) as described in Section 10.5.1 necessitating the Change. Company’s demonstration of the impact on the progress of the Work must be made on a basis that analyzes the actual impacts of the given event on the then-current schedule for completion of the Work. In no event will Company be entitled to an extension of time under this Section 10.5.2 to the extent that the performance of the Work for which the extension is sought would have been suspended, delayed or interrupted by the concurrent fault, actions or omissions of Company or Subcontractors.

10.5.3 Changes to the Contract Price.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 10.5.3(b), unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, any Change Order required to be issued to increase the Contract Price as a result of an event described in Section 10.5.1 will increase the Contract Price by an amount equal to the Direct Costs incurred by Company solely in connection with such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner submits a Change Order Request pursuant to Section 10.2.1, the Contract Price adjustment, if any, shall be limited to the amount determined in accordance with Section 10.2.1 and shall not include any additional amounts for Company’s Direct Costs.

(b) In no event will Company be entitled to payment for any costs hereunder, including any Direct Costs, to the extent that such costs would have occurred, notwithstanding such event, due to the concurrent fault, actions or omissions of Company or its Subcontractors.

(c) For purposes hereof, “Direct Costs” shall mean only the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs that are directly incurred by Company, and supported by documentation reasonably evidencing the amount and incurrence of such costs, as a result of the event giving rise to the Change Order for the following items: (i) compensation for Labor and Equipment utilized and in the direct employ of Company at the Project Site, at the rates as set forth in Company’s Rate Schedule; (ii) cost of materials and permanent equipment; (iii) payments properly made by Company to Subcontractors, service providers, consultants, and suppliers; (iv) rental charges of necessary machinery and equipment (but excluding hand tools) used at the Project Site; (v) Permit fees; and (vi) reasonable costs of mobilization and/or demobilization if the delay related to the event justifying the Change Order exceeds ten (10) continuous Days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Direct Costs” shall not include (A) salaries or other compensation (including costs of contributions, assessments, fringe benefits or taxes based on salaries or compensation) of Company’s Personnel at Company’s principal office and branch offices (except as provided in the previous sentence); (B) expenses of Company’s principal and branch offices; (C) Company’s profit, overhead or general expenses of any kind; (D) any replacement, repair or other costs or liabilities arising from any loss of or damage to any equipment, tools or other property owned or used by Company or its Subcontractors; (E) costs to correct or reperform any components of such Work as a result of the acts or omissions of Company or its Personnel; (F) any fines or penalties assessed against Company or its Personnel in connection with such Work that were assessed due to the fault of Company or its Personnel; (G) any costs or expenses other than those specifically set forth above as Direct Costs; or (H) any amounts paid to Affiliates of Company that exceed the fair market value for their services or materials. In the event that Owner believes that any cost is improperly included in the calculation of Direct Costs or that any cost included in the Direct Costs has been incorrectly determined, Owner may inform Company that it elects to submit such dispute to the Change Order Dispute Engineer for full and final resolution of the matter within five (5) Business Days from the applicable date of referral. Each Party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Change Order Dispute Engineer.

10.6 Taxes. The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of Section 5.7 will apply to any additional Work covered by any Change Order.

Nothing in this Article XI or in Exhibit N shall be construed as limiting the extent of Company’s responsibility under Article XII or otherwise.

If at any time the insurance to be provided by Company hereunder shall be reduced or cease to be maintained, then (without limiting the rights of the Owner hereunder in respect of any default that arises as a result of such failure), the Owner may if such default continues after ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Company, at its option maintain the insurance required hereby, and, in such event, Owner may withhold the cost of insurance premiums from any payments to Company.

Company shall require such liability and workers’ compensation/employer’s liability insurance of its Subcontractors who perform services at the Project as shall be reasonable and in accordance with Prudent Solar Industry Practices in relation to the Work or other items being provided by each such Subcontractor.

12.1.1 Company’s General Indemnity. Company shall release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Owner and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns, and the owners of the real property comprising the Project Site (each of the foregoing, an “Owner Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, injuries, liabilities, claims, demands, fines, penalties, assessments, interest, causes of action, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees (collectively, “Losses”), asserted against any Owner Indemnified Party to the extent and as a result of any and all of the following:

(e) any claim, action or proceeding by any Person for unauthorized disclosure, infringement or use of any Intellectual Property Right arising from or related to (i) Company’s performance (or that of its Affiliates, a Subcontractor, and/or any of their Personnel) under this Agreement, (ii) the design, construction, use, operation or ownership of the Project (including the Equipment, Company Deliverables or any portion of any of them), or (iii) the use of any license granted hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.4, if Owner is enjoined from completing the Project or any part thereof, or if Owner is enjoined from the use, operation or enjoyment of the Project or any part thereof, as a result of such claim or legal action or any litigation based thereon, Company shall, in addition to its indemnification obligations hereunder, promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to have such injunction removed at no cost to Owner. Company shall timely notify Owner in writing of any claims which Company may receive alleging infringement of patents or other proprietary rights that may affect Company’s performance of the Work;

(f) any cancellation or invalidation of any insurance policy or part thereof procured under Article XI as a result of Company’s failure to comply with any of the requirements set forth in such policy or any other act by Company or any Subcontractor (but only to the extent that Company has actually received the terms of such insurance policy); or

(f) any claims with respect to employer’s liability or worker’s compensation filed by any employee of Owner or Other Owner Contractors, but only to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Owner.

12.2 Indemnification Procedure.

12.2.1 Notice of Proceedings. The Person claiming to be indemnified under the terms of this Article XII (the “Indemnified Person”) shall give the Party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of commencement of any legal action or of any claims against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnification will be sought, together with a copy of such claim, process or other legal pleading. Failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice will not reduce or relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability hereunder unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was precluded from defending such claim, action, suit or proceeding as a result of the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice. In any event, the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Article XII.

12.2.2 Conduct of Proceedings. Each Party and each other Indemnified Person shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contest, defend and litigate any claim, action, suit or proceeding alleged or asserted against it arising out of any matter in respect of which it is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, and the reasonable costs and expenses thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees) shall be subject to the said indemnity; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding at its expense upon its giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Person, and such Indemnifying

Party shall conduct with due diligence and in good faith the defense of any claim against such Indemnified Person, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall be joined therein, and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall have charge and direction of the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, however, that without relieving the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder or impairing the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense or settlement thereof, the Indemnified Person may elect to participate through separate counsel in the defense of any such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (a) there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Person in the conduct of the defense of such claim, (b) the Indemnifying Party did not employ counsel to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof or (c) the Indemnified Person reasonably concludes and specifically notifies the Indemnifying Party that there may be specific defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In each such case, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense or settlement of such claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel engaged by the Indemnified Person shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The amount of any indemnity payment made under Section 12.1 shall be reduced by the amount of all insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Person in respect of the event giving rise to the right of indemnity under Section 12.1.

12.2.3 Contributory Negligence. If the joint, concurring, comparative or contributory fault or negligence of the Parties gives rise to damages for which the Parties are entitled to indemnification under this Article XII, then such damages shall be allocated between the Parties in proportion to their respective degrees of fault or negligence contributing to such damages.

12.2.4 Survival of Indemnities. The indemnities set forth in this Article XII shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

13.1.2 Owner Termination for Cause. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Company Event of Default hereunder, Owner, in addition to its right to pursue any other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Company (an “Owner Termination for Cause”). An Owner Termination for Cause shall be effective upon delivery of Owner’s notice with respect thereto. In the event of any termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.1.2, Owner may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, at its option, finish the Work

by whatever methods Owner may deem expedient that are consistent with Prudent Solar Industry Practices, including contracting with any other Person to complete the Work, and may undertake such expenditures as in Owner’s reasonable judgment will best accomplish the timely completion of the Work (including, where necessary, the entry into contract without prior solicitation of proposals). Without prejudice to the foregoing, Owner shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the cost for completion of the Work. In such event Company shall not be entitled to receive any further payments under this Agreement except for payments for Work performed prior to such termination. As soon as practicable after final completion of the Work, Owner shall determine the Completion Cost. If the Completion Cost exceeds the unpaid portion of the Contract Price at the time of the termination of this Agreement, then Company shall pay to Owner the amount of such excess, within ten (10) days following receipt of Owner’s demand for such payment. Under such circumstances, Owner shall not be required to pay additional amounts to Company. However, if the Completion Cost is less than any remaining portion of the Contract Price due and owing to Company at the time of the termination of this Agreement, then no amount shall be due to Owner or Company except to the extent provided in the last sentence of this Section 13.1.2. “Completion Cost” means (a) all direct costs and expenses incurred by Owner to complete the Work including without limitation (i) costs to engage one or more substitute contractors to complete (or cure deficiencies in) the Work (ii) all overhead, legal, consultant, engineering, testing, and other professional fees and expenses, and (iii) all amounts under any of Company’s Subcontract(s) or other contractual agreement(s) that Owner elects to assume or have assigned to a replacement contractor and (b) all other direct costs, expenses and damages suffered by Owner as a result of the Company Event of Default and the Owner Termination for Cause including any termination and cancellation charges Owner is assessed by third parties resulting from Owner’s termination of Company. Any amount owed by Owner to Company for Work that was completed prior to termination shall be retained by Owner until after completion of the Work and applied by Owner to pay any amounts and damages owed by Company pursuant to this Section 13.1.2 or otherwise. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, any excess of the amount retained over the amount due to Owner under this Section 13.1.2 shall be remitted to Company within sixty (60) Days after the Final Completion Date.

13.1.3 Other Owner Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Company Event of Default but prior to termination of this Agreement by Owner, Owner may, without prejudice to any of its other rights or remedies, (a) suspend performance of its obligations and duties hereunder upon written notice to the Company, (b) seek equitable relief to cause Company to take action or to refrain from taking action pursuant to this Agreement, or to make restitution of amounts improperly received under this Agreement, (c) make such payments or perform such obligations as are required to cure such Company Event of Default, and/or offset the cost of such payment or performance against payments otherwise due to Company under this Agreement.

13.2 Owner Default. Owner’s failure to pay to Company any required payment that is not in dispute when due, which failure continues for thirty (30) Days after written notice of such failure has been received by Owner from Company, shall constitute an event of default by Owner hereunder (an “Owner Event of Default”). Upon any Owner Event of Default, Company may suspend the Work. Company may terminate this Agreement thirty (30) Days after any Owner

Event of Default and after giving written notice thereof to Owner so long as the amount owed by Owner (other than any amount disputed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) is not paid within such thirty (30)-day period (a “Company Termination for Cause”). In the event of a Company Termination for Cause, Company shall be entitled to recover an amount equal to the Termination Payment pursuant to Section 13.3. Unless Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Company shall not suspend or delay performance of the Work because of any Owner Event of Default. Company shall continue performance of the Work during any dispute over payment so long as Owner continues to pay all undisputed amounts. Other than as stated above, Company will have no right to terminate this Agreement, and Company acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedies for any failure of Owner to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (other than nonpayment as described above) are limited to receipt of a Change Order as described in Section 10.5.

13.3 Termination Payment.

13.3.1 Termination Payments Due to Company. Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2 or Section 13.4 and subject to Owner’s rights under Sections 5.3 and 5.7, Company shall be entitled to a payment (the “Termination Payment”), which shall equal the sum of the following, without duplication: (a) that portion of the Contract Price that is applicable to Work performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement up to the date of termination that has not previously been paid to Company (as determined below); (b) the expenses reasonably incurred by Company in withdrawing Company’s Equipment and Personnel from the Project Site and in otherwise demobilizing; (c) all direct costs reasonably incurred by Company in connection with such termination, including cancellation and deferment charges and material procurement costs; (d) the expenses reasonably incurred by Company in terminating contracts with Subcontractors pertaining to the Work (excluding fees of any Affiliates of Company), except to the extent Owner has instructed Company not to terminate such contracts, in which event such contract will be assigned to Owner, subject to Owner’s assumption of same and, if required pursuant to the applicable Subcontract, Owner’s adequate assurance to such Subcontractors regarding Owner’s ability to pay; (e) the cost for any Work performed after the notice of termination that is specifically authorized by Owner. Company shall use all reasonable, diligent efforts to mitigate the foregoing costs, including identifying and pursuing other uses for Equipment or supplies manufactured or obtained pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Termination Payment shall not include any costs incurred by Company after the date of the event giving rise to such termination that Company reasonably could have mitigated.

13.3.2 Payment of Termination Payment. Company shall submit an invoice to Owner for the Termination Payment with supporting information and documentation of any fees or expenses claimed by Company pursuant to this Section 13.3. Upon review and agreement that such invoice is proper, Owner shall pay such invoice within thirty (30) Days after its receipt of same unless it disputes in good faith certain elements thereof, in which event only the undisputed portion of the Termination Payment need be made within such thirty (30) Day period. As a condition precedent to receiving any Termination Payment, Company shall comply with Section 13.5 in its entirety.

13.3.3 Company’s Sole Remedy. Payment of the Termination Payment shall be the sole and exclusive liability of Owner, and the sole and exclusive remedy of Company, with respect to termination of this Agreement under Section 13.2 or Section 13.4, and in such event, Owner shall have no further liability to Company notwithstanding the actual amount of damages that Company may have sustained, or any loss of anticipated profits for unperformed Work, in connection with such termination. Company waives any claims for damages, including loss of anticipated profits for uncompleted Work due to a termination by Owner pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.4 and shall accept as its sole remedy the Termination Payment.

13.4 Owner Termination Without Cause. Owner may, for its convenience, terminate this Agreement after giving notice to Company in which event Company shall be entitled to be paid the Termination Payment under Section 13.3. As a condition to any termination by Owner pursuant to this Section 13.4 (an “Owner Termination Without Cause”), Owner must provide written notice to Company of the Owner Termination Without Cause at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination. If, at the date of termination under this Section 13.4, Company has properly performed services or purchased, prepared or fabricated off the Project Site any materials or Equipment for subsequent incorporation at the Project Site, Owner shall have the option of having such materials or Equipment delivered to the Project Site or to such other place as Owner shall reasonably direct.

13.5 Actions Required Following Termination.

13.5.1 Discontinuation of Work. Upon termination of this Agreement, Owner shall be immediately released from any and all obligations to Company (except for Owner’s obligation to pay any amount specified in Section 13.3, if applicable), Company immediately shall discontinue the Work and remove from the Project Site its Personnel, all Company’s Equipment, waste, rubbish and Hazardous Material brought onto the Project Site by Company or its Subcontractors or for which Company is otherwise responsible, and Owner shall be entitled to take exclusive possession of the Work, the Project Site, and any and all Equipment (including materials delivered or en route to the Project Site). Company immediately shall take such steps as are reasonably necessary to preserve and protect Work completed and in progress and to protect materials, Equipment and supplies at the Project Site, stored off-site, or in transit.

13.5.2 Cancellation and Transfer of Subcontracts and Other Rights. If requested by Owner in the event of termination of this Agreement, Company will make every reasonable effort to cancel existing Subcontracts upon terms satisfactory to Owner. Any payments to be made to a Subcontractor as a result of any such termination shall be paid by Company (subject to Section 13.3, in the event of a termination under Section 13.2 or 13.4). Company shall also, upon request by Owner in the event of termination of this Agreement by Owner, to the extent assignable, (a) irrevocably assign and deliver to Owner any and all Permits held by Company (and Permit applications in Company’s name) and all Subcontracts, purchase orders, bonds, warranties and options made by Company in performance of the Work (but in no event shall Owner be liable for any action or default of Company occurring prior to such delivery and assignment), (b) provide to Owner without charge a license to use all rights to patented, copyrighted, licensed or proprietary materials of Company and Subcontractors in connection with the

Work, except as otherwise restricted herein, and (c) deliver to Owner originals of this Agreement, originals of all Drawings, to the extent available, Company Deliverables in process (except that Company may keep for its records copies, and, if sufficient originals exist, an original set, of this Agreement executed by Owner), all other materials relating to the Work, and all papers and documents relating to Applicable Permits, orders placed, bills and invoices, Lien releases and financial management under this Agreement. All deliveries hereunder shall be made free and clear of any Liens, security interests or encumbrances, except such as may be created by Owner. Except as provided herein, no action taken by Owner or Company after the termination of this Agreement shall prejudice any other rights or remedies of Owner or Company provided by Applicable Laws, this Agreement or otherwise upon such termination. In addition, Company shall assist Owner in preparing an inventory of all Equipment in use or in storage at the Project Site, and Company shall take such other action as required hereunder upon termination of this Agreement.

13.6 Surviving Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement (a) shall not relieve either Party of its obligations with respect to the confidentiality of the other Party’s information as set forth in Section 16.4, (b) shall not relieve either Party of any obligation hereunder which expressly or by implication survives termination hereof, (c) except as otherwise provided in any provision of this Agreement expressly limiting the liability of either Party, shall not relieve either Owner or Company of any obligations or liabilities for loss or damage to the other Party arising out of or caused by acts or omissions of such Party prior to the effectiveness of such termination or arising out of such termination, and (d) shall not relieve Company of its obligations as to portions of the Work or other services hereunder already performed or of obligations assumed by Company prior to the date of termination, including with respect to Company’s Warranty obligations with respect to such portions of the Work following Final Completion of the Project, whether by Owner or a third party. This Article XIII shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

13.7 Suspension by Owner for Convenience. Owner may suspend all or a portion of the Work to be performed under this Agreement at any time for any reason in its sole discretion by giving written notice thereof to Company. Such suspension shall continue for the period specified in the notice of suspension; provided that Company agrees to resume performance of the Work promptly upon receipt of notice from Owner. Upon receiving any such notice of suspension from Owner, unless the notice requires otherwise, Company shall: (a) immediately discontinue the Work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice; (b) place no further orders or Subcontracts for Equipment, services or materials with respect to suspended Work, other than to the extent required in the notice; (c) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain suspension, with terms satisfactory to Owner, of all orders, Subcontracts and rental agreements to the extent they relate to performance of suspended Work; (d) continue to protect and maintain the Work performed, including those portions on which Work has been suspended; and (e) take any other reasonable steps to minimize costs and expenses associated with such suspension. Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to include a suspension for convenience provision with terms similar to the foregoing in all Subcontracts. After the conclusion of any suspension hereunder, Company will be entitled to a Change Order to the extent described in Section 10.5.1(b). If a suspension of Work continues for more than one hundred ninety (190) Days in the aggregate, Company may deliver to Owner a notice of intent to terminate and, unless within fifteen (15) days of receiving such notice Owner has notified

Company that it may resume the Work, terminate this Agreement, which termination shall be deemed an Owner Termination Without Cause.

13.8 Stop Work Directive. Without limiting the generality of Owner’s right under Section 13.7, Owner may issue a stop work directive (“SWD”) in any situation where: (a) Company or any Subcontractor is performing Work materially contrary to the conditions and terms of this Agreement; (b) continued Work could cause damage to, or render remedial action ineffective for, any product form/service provided by Company or Subcontractors; or (c) there exists a safety issue that is an imminent threat to Person(s) or property. The SWD shall be limited to stopping Work to the extent reasonably necessary to remedy or prevent the circumstance giving rise to the SWD from becoming worse or threatening Persons or property. Owner shall permit Company to continue Work as needed to remedy the circumstance giving rise to the SWD and to continue Work not creating or exacerbating the circumstances giving rise to the SWD. Upon receipt of a SWD, Company and all Subcontractors shall cease operations on any specified product or service to the extent stipulated by the SWD and subject to this Section 13.8. Company and the Subcontractors shall not resume Work on an activity described in a SWD until Company has obtained an authorization from Owner (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and any delay in the performance of the Work shall not adjust the Project Schedule or Contract Price, unless Company is otherwise entitled to a Change Order for the delay pursuant to another provision of this Agreement or it is determined pursuant to Article XV that Owner’s determination under this Section 13.8 was in error.

ARTICLE XV

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

15.1 Dispute Resolution. Except to the extent set forth in Article X, in the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, within ten (10) Days following the receipt of a written notice from either Party identifying such dispute, the Parties shall meet, negotiate and attempt, in good faith, to resolve the dispute quickly, informally and inexpensively. If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute arising hereunder within ten (10) Days of initiating such discussions, or within fifteen (15) Days after notice of the dispute, either Party may submit the dispute to final and binding arbitration by delivering a notice to the other Party of its intent to submit the matter for arbitration (“Arbitration Notice”).

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association and take place in Los Angeles, California before a single arbitrator, unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree to a panel of three arbitrators, selected in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, discovery in arbitration shall be completed within ninety (90) days after the appointment of the arbitrator(s), and the arbitrator(s)

may restrict the scope and number of discovery demands permitted, including but not limited to the number of depositions that may be taken, to ensure compliance with this 90-day limitation.

In addition, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, a hearing on the arbitration shall be conducted no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after appointment of the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall render a written decision stating the reasons therefor as soon as practicable after the close of the hearing but, in any case, no later than thirty (30) days the conclusion thereof. The arbitrator’s award shall be a reasoned award and issued pursuant to law and shall be final and binding. The arbitration award shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The expenses of the arbitration proceeding until the issuance of the arbitration award, excluding the Parties’ own expenses and attorneys’ fees, shall be shared equally by the Parties. The arbitration award shall grant the prevailing Party the reimbursement of reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses as provided in Section 15.2.

15.2 Attorneys’ Fees. In any arbitration or litigation to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action shall be entitled to the recovery of its reasonable legal fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs), its corresponding share of the fees of the arbitrator, and costs and expenses such as the prevailing Party’s expert witness fees, all as fixed by the arbitrator or court.

15.3 Third Parties. If a dispute arises between the Parties which is subject to the arbitration provisions hereunder and there exists or later arises a controversy, claim, dispute or difference between either of the Parties and any third party arising out of or related to the same transaction or series of transactions (“Third Party Controversy”), either Party shall be entitled to require that (a) the other Party be joined as a party to any arbitration of such Third Party Controversy being pursued with such third party and Owner or Company (as the case may be) shall permit, and cooperate in, such joinder or (b) the third party be joined as a party to the arbitration proceeding hereunder; provided, however, that, for purposes of clause (a) above, the rules and procedures applicable to the arbitration of such Third Party Controversy are substantially the same in all material respects as the rules and procedures provided for herein; provided, further, that, for purposes of clause (b) above, the third party consents to such joinder within ten (10) Days after an Arbitration Notice has been filed. Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) include arbitration provisions substantially the same in all material respects as provided for herein in each Subcontract and (ii) require each Subcontractor to expressly consent to its joinder to any arbitration proceedings hereunder. Once a third party is joined to a dispute hereunder pursuant to this Section 15.3, such third party shall be entitled to treatment as a Party for purposes of the arbitration procedures of this Article XV.

15.4 Survival. The provisions set forth in this Article XV shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XVI

Owner may assign this Agreement in whole or in part (a) to any of its Affiliates; (b) to any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets of Owner (whether voluntary or by operation of law); or (c) to any Person that demonstrates to Company’s reasonable satisfaction that it is financially capable of performing Owner’s obligations under this Agreement and agrees in writing to assume Owner’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, and in each case of clause (a), (b) or (c), Owner shall be released upon assignment. Owner may assign this Agreement to a third party; provided that Company is provided written notice as soon as reasonably possible following such assignment; and provided, further, that unless such assignment is pursuant to clauses (a), (b), or (c) above or otherwise novated pursuant to written agreement between Company, Owner, and Owner’s assignee, Owner shall continue to remain responsible for its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Company agrees and acknowledges that any third party receiving such an assignment, provided it assumes all obligations hereunder in writing, shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of Owner under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof (in its own name or in the name of Owner), and Company shall comply in all respects with such exercise.

16.2 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by any Party could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone.

(a) Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to and in conformity with Applicable Laws or in connection with any legal proceedings described in Article XV, provided that the Party required to disclose such information shall give prior notice to the other Party of such required disclosure and, if so requested by the other Party, shall use all reasonable efforts to oppose the requested disclosure as appropriate under the circumstances or to seek, through a protective order or other appropriate mechanism, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information;

(b) Confidential Information may be disclosed as required under securities laws applicable to publicly traded companies and their subsidiaries;

16.4.5 Ownership of Confidential Information. All right and title to, and interest in, a Party’s Confidential Information shall remain with such Party, provided that all Confidential Information obtained, developed or created by or for Company exclusively for the Project, including copies thereof, is the exclusive property of Owner whether delivered to Owner or not. No right or license is granted to Company or any third party respecting the use of Confidential Information by virtue of this Agreement, except to the extent required for Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder. Company shall deliver the Confidential Information, including all copies thereof, to Owner upon request.

16.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, discussions, undertakings and commitments (whether written or oral) with respect thereto, and such prior agreements shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.

The failure of a Party to give notice to the other Party of a breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof.

To be effective, a waiver of any obligation or right must be in writing and signed by the Party waiving such obligation or right.

Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision that is as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and is legal, valid and enforceable.

16.11 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

16.12 Survival.

This Article XVI shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
